[00:17.12]I was born by the river
[00:22.72]In a little tent
[00:26.80]And just like that river I've been running
[00:31.35]Ever since
[00:33.83]It's been a long long time coming
[00:40.10]But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it is
[00:50.40]I've been tire of living
[00:55.76]But I'm afraid to die
[01:00.30]I don't know what's up there
[01:04.32]Beyond the sky
[01:07.20]It's been a long long time coming
[01:13.45]But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it is
[01:24.80]I go to the movie
[01:28.58]And I go downtown
[01:33.57]Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
[01:40.25]It's been a long long time coming
[01:46.31]But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it is
[01:57.57]Then I go to my brother
[02:06.38]And I say brother help me please
[02:15.18]He winds up knockin' me
[02:22.95]Back down on my knees
[02:29.94]There been times when I thought I couldn't last for long
[02:39.61]But now I think I'm able to carry on
[02:46.64]It's been a long long time coming
[02:52.87]But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it is

I was born by the river
In a little tent
And just like that river I've been running
Ever since
It's been a long long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it is
I've been tire of living
But I'm afraid to die
I don't know what's up there
Beyond the sky
It's been a long long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it is
I go to the movie
And I go downtown
Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it is
Then I go to my brother
And I say brother help me please
He winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees
There been times when I thought I couldn't last for long
But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long long time coming
But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it is
